There is no such beast as an 2008 GS. Chevrolet didn’t produce the C6 GS until 2010.

That is a base with aftermarket rear fenders. Front fenders are base. Brakes are base. Definitely not a Grand Sport.
Sorry man.

That explains how undevalued it was. Dealer likely realized it was modified and gave it away.

Either way, welcome back!

I suppose I could be PO'd but my mistake is mine. Seems like a lot of trouble and expense to make it look like a GS. That said I still do
like the car and am happy to have it.

You can get wide front fenders to match the rear fenders.
